Six months after it writes to Pune Inc to sponsor Metro stations, Maha Metro yet to hear from them.
Even as the central government has shown its readiness to extend Pune Metro till Nigdi, it has come to light that the corporate sector is not keen to extend its best foot forward to give a hard push to Pune’s most ambitious Metro project. Despite desperate pleas from the Maha Metro, which is implementing the project, the corporate sector has shied away from “identifying” itself with Metro stations. “We are ready to extend the Pune Metro till Nigdi. For this, we were exploring the possibility of seeking financial help from corporates for two Metro stations between Nigdi and Pimpri. But so far there has been no response,” said Brijesh Dixit, managing director of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation, better known as Maha Metro.
